STUNNED onlookers witnessed an unexpected drama in Ealing, as this picture sent in by Gazette reader Scott Newton shows.

At about 10.15am last Thursday, a Mercedes crashed through the wall of the car park at the Arcadia Shopping Centre in The Broadway.

No one was seriously hurt in the incident.

Ealing police said a woman motorist was thought to have put her car in the wrong gear in the car park overlooking Springbridge Road.

A spokesman for London Ambulance Service said a 60-year-old man was taken to hospital after the crash, but his condition was not thought to be serious. No other vehicles were reported to have been involved.

A safety review is under way to see if any extra safety measures are needed at the site.
